Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Donghoon Yoon's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying hematopoiesis, particularly the role of hypoxia and its signaling pathways in red blood cell development and iron homeostasis. His work has investigated the impact of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) on erythropoiesis, examining how their deficiency or dysregulation affects signaling cascades and cellular processes such as mitophagy and ROS production. Yoon has also explored the involvement of microRNAs, specifically miR-451, in regulating erythroid differentiation. His research extends to metabolic consequences, including the relationship between HIF and glucose metabolism in conditions like Chuvash polycythemia. Yoon holds an h-index of 18 with over 1,200 citations across approximately 150 publications. He has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Syed Hassan Mehdi, Ying-Zhi Xu, Samantha Kendrick, and Vijay Patel, with whom he shares numerous publications.
